The DPRA Heat Stress Module for the Heat Stress Overlay can be used for heat stress calculations, based on geographical features and locale parameters. The final result is the physiological equivalent temperature, a measure that accounts for factors affecting the perception and impact of temperature.

The module performs these calculations in accordance with the DPRA Heat stress report.

Input factors
